This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.

We also ask that you:

+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.

+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine

use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.

+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.

+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner

the year 1800. In his will he mf»ntions sons George and James, daughters Sarah,
Elizabeth. Mary and Martha, wife Mary, but makes no mention ot son John, to
whom John Campbell refers in his will as his grandson, son of James. '^

Richard Brownrigg married Sarah Campbell ; one son Thomas was the issue of
this union. Sarah married second Capt. David Meredith, of Hampton, Va, His
will is also on record in Bertie County, executed in 1795; mentions brother

With this issue of The North Carolina Historical and
Gknealogical Kegister, we enter upon a comparatively new and
un leveloped field of journalism, in North Carolina.

To write history accurately, under tlie most favorable circum-
etanees is a very difficult task, rendered much more so when those
who made it, have all passed from the stage of action to the silent
cities of the dead. We may repair to the cemeteries and pressing
close to the portals of the tomb, ears aciitely tuned to catch the faintest
whisper that falls from human lips, ask the sleepers there, who
rhiv are? Whence they came? What they did? But alas! the
oppressive silence is broken only by the echo of our words, wafted
bavk by the wind, as it sings through the waving grass and rustling
leaves a requiem for the repose of those who sleep beneath. We^
must turn to what has been written to learn their history, sad but
true it is, here we find that fire social convulsions moth and rust,
the destructive agents of time, have in many instances done well their
work, and left illegible the records onr ancestors recorded with their
own hands, and attested with their seals.

Time is a remorseless iconoclast. The most sacred idols are ruth-
lessly broken in his flight, and the tenderest ties severed by his stroke.
He rules with stem decrees and an iron hand; sooner or later all
things earthly must yield to his sceptre. The flower blooms but to
wither at his touch, the sturdy oak in conscious strength spreads
forth its branches, only to be riven by his fiery bolt, or wrecked by
the fierceness of his blast Man is bom but to die, and the epitaph of
human life may be written in a few brief words, first the cradle then
the grave, with a short space between, seldom barren, often filled
with weeds and thorns, sometimes laden with luscious fruits and
^Iden grain* Character alone defies his keenest blade, and laughs in
trinmph as the centuries march to Aeir inevitable doom, for when

all the monuments of human greatness shall have faded into oblivion,
yea, v^hen the granite hills and the firmly-rooted mountains shall have
waxed old, and melted upon the funeral pyre of time, character
adorned with all that is pure and good, will rise Phocnixlike from
his ashes to grasp immortal honors, that will shine with increasing
lustre while the cycles of eternity roll their successive roimds.

It will be our province to glean from the public records of the
eastern counties of North Carolina, as well as from those of the
adjoining counties of Virginia, the history of those, who severed the
ties of friendship, blood and home, in the old world to brave the
perils of the deep and greater perils of the wilderness, to lay the
foundations of a social fabric, that has become the pride of every
North Carolinian, and the admiration of her sister States, in the
great constellation which forms the American Union.

To the rude log houses scattered here and there on the banks of the
watercourses along the Atlantic seaboard, may be traced not only
the genealogy of the State, but that also of the Kepublic. In the
rebellion against unjust taxation and oppressive laws, shortly after
the establishment of the Colony in North Carolina, were sown the
seed which fruited in 1776, in the successful struggle for liberty and
independence, out of which sprang the Republic full panoplied,
ready to take her place among the nations of the earth. From a nar-
row strip of land on the Atlantic Ocean, it has developed into a vast
empire, extending from where perpetual winter locks all nature in
its icy embrace to where perennial spring infuses its genial breath
into bursting bud and opening flower; from where the first rays of
morning light gild the towering spires of our eastern cities, to where
the evening shadows fall upon the golden gates of the far-distant
west, whose varying climate and rich domain invite the oppressed of
every nation, to come and dwell, whe^e bounteous harvests reward the
toil of the diligent, and labor finds a competency for the "winter
of old age," and above all, where all the blessings of "Civil and
Keligious Liberty*^ can be enjoyed, abridged only in social enjoy-
ments by laws designed to elevate to a higher plane and destiny her
citizens.

We shall tell of the birth of their children, the marriage of their
sons and daughters, the successes and distinctions they achieved in

life, silently cover with the mantle of charity their faults, and speak
reverently and respectfully of the fall of the curtain in the last act
of the drama of life, remembering that the foundations of our present
civilization so well and solidly laid, is and will ever continue to be
the credit of those who laid them, while posterity can alone claim the
credit for the improvement and development of the rich legacy they
bequeathed.

The solid sturdy characters of those, who wrought well in life will
be elevated to inspire with a laudable ambition, the youth of the
State, to emulate their virtues and write upon history a name that
will go down to the latest period of time. The foundation of char-
acter is laid in the early years of life, by careful pruning and by
<5onstant and diligent cultivation. The shattered dreams of youth,
the ruined hopes of manhood and blasted fortunes of maturer age, left
in the wake of time in his onward sweep, like gruesome wrecks, warn
of neglected opportunities and a failure to improve the moments as
they swiftly fly.

We place the inspiration before the youth of the country, to bum
its way deep into their minds and hearts and shoot through every
nerve and fibre of their being, a flame of intense and earnest desire
to achieve that success in life commensurate with the opportunities
and possibilities by which they are surrounded, and present to the
world a solid substantial manhood reflecting credit upon their sires
and themselves, and leaving a heritage to posterity more to be desired
than great riches.

With these words of introduction, we cast upon the tide of time
the fruits of our labor, to be borne by its current to the homes of a
generous public, upon whose appreciation we confidently rely for a
patronage sufficiently liberal, to make a success of the work we have
undertaken.

Fortitude is perhaps one of life's most useful lessons, certainly
one of the most difficult to learn. It is taught so beautifully and
impressively by the ferns as they bloom in the glens and dells of the
forest, their leaves are brightest when the wind blows coldest, and
where the shadows fall the thi)3kest. Fortitude is an essential con-
stituent in the development of a vigorous, sturdy manhood.

A correspondent is in quest of a copy of the MSS. records of John
Hill's Family Bible. He lived and died in Bertie County, 1762.
Was the father of Hon. Whitmell Hill. We will thank any of our -
readers for information as to the present ownership of the Bible, and
the person's address.

We are also requested to advertise for the records of the Southwest
Parish, later known as St. Thomas Parish, in Bertie, the records ante-
date 1722 and probably extend to 1840 or 1850. If they can be
found, they will be very valuable in writing up the personal history
of Bertie County, and throw much light upon the history of families
that can be obtained from no other source. We hope our readers
will institute an enquiry that will lead to their recovery. A large
number of our subscribers are directly interested in these records.

The Nohth Caholisa Historicai. and Genkalogioai> REaisTKR,

♦Note. — Mrs. Jean Corbin was the widow of James Innes of Wilmington at
the time of her marriage to Francis Corbin of Edenton, Deputy of Earl Gran-
ville. The old Cupola house on Broad street, in the town Edenton. built in
1758, was intended for.the occupation of Francis Corbin and his wife Jean, but
he died before its completion, and it was sold and became the property of the
ancestor of the lady who now occupies it. An erroneous opinion has been current
relative to this house ; it has been stated that it was built for Gov. Charles
Eden, who died 36 years prior to its construction.

♦ NoTB —Thomas Harvey was Governor of the Colony. He married first Mrs.
Johanna Jenkins as appears from the following item taken from the Perquimans
records : Thomas Harvey son of John Harvey and his wife living at the Heath,
in 8nitherfield Parish, in Warwickshire, England, and Joanah Jenkins, ye relict
of Hon. John Jenkins, were married by Anthony Slockem Apl. 18, 1H82 ; his sec-
ond wife was Sarah Laker daughter of Benjamin Laker, issue (a) Thomas Har-
vey married Elizabeth Cole daughter of Col. James Cole of Perquimans Precinct,,
(b) daughter Marv married Col. Robert West of Chowan (Bertie). Mrs. Sarah Har-
vey married for her second husband. Chief Justice Christopher Gale, issue (a>
Miles Gale, (b) daughter Penelope Little wife of William Little, who was also
Chief Justice of the Colony, Elizabeth married Henry Clayton. Gk)v. Harvey
came into the Colony as Private Secretary of Gov. John Jenkins. Query : Was
he the son or brother of John Harvey ? He was his Executor, from the record
of his marriage it would appear that his father was living at the time of his
marriage in England.

f Note.— Evidently the son of Thomas Harvey and wife Elizabeth Cole, and
grandson of Gov. Thomas Harvey and his wife Sarah Laker.

THE FIRST CHURCH BUILT IN NORTH CAROLINA
AND ITS LOCATION, ETC.

Lossing, in his " Field Book of the Revolution," states that the
first church erected in North Carolina was located in Chowan County
in 1705. While he is in error as to the date, he is correct as to its
location. (Vol. — , page — .)

Tradition has placed the first church on the site of St. Paul's
Church, in the town of Edenton, N. C, and we regret that the tra-
dition is not verified, by the evidence taken from the records, as
given in this sketch. The writer takes no pleasure in destroying,
but would rather confirm them.

" At the organization of the first Vestry of St. Paul's Parish at the
house of Thomas Gillam, Dec. 12, 1701," in obedience to an Act of
Assembly made Nov. the 12th, 1701, appointing a Vestry for this
Precinct consisting of Hon. Henderson Walker, Col. Thomas Pollock,
William Duckinfield, Nicholas Crisp, Edward Smithwick, John
Blount, James Long, Nathaniel Chevin, William Banberry, Col»
William Wilkinson, Capt. Thomas Leuten, Capt. Thomas Blount,
present, it being debated where a church should be built, Mr. Ed-
ward Smithwick undertakes to give one acre of land upon his old
plantation, and to give a conveyance for the same to the Church
Wardens hereafter appointed for the use and service of the precinct,
to build a church upon, and for no other use, and to acknowledge
the same in open court." (Col. Rec, vol. I, page 543.)

" It is appointed that Col. William Wilkinson and Capt. Thos.
Leuten shall be Church Wardens for the following year, who shall
agree with a workman for building a Church 25 ft. long. Posts in the
ground and held to the Collar Beams, and to find all manner of Iron
work, viz.. Nails and Locks, &c„ with full power to contract and
agree with the said workman, as to their direction, shall seem meet
and convenient." (Col. Rec, vol. I, page 543.)

" Ordered, that the Church Wardens aforesaid having agreed with
the workman for the building of a church as aforesaid, whatsoever
charge shall accrue for and towards the building of the aforesaid
church, or any other charge relating to the same (although not here
particularly mentioned) by the said Church Wardens be levied by
the pole upon the Tythables of the Precinct, the Church Wardens
first endeavoring to raise the said money by contribution, and in
case of failure to raise it by the pole as aforesaid, to agree with a Col-
lector or Collectors to receive the same with power to destrain in case
of Refusal." (Col. Records, vol. I, pages 543 and 544.)

The next evidence we introduce is a deed from "Edward Smith-
wick to Thomas Luten and William Wilkinson, Church Wardens
of ye Precinct of Chowan, in North Carolina." " Seventy yards

AND Genbaloqical Rbgistbr. 257

square of land for to build and arect a church, and the church to
stand in the middle of said land, for the use of said Parish, forever,
the 8ai<i land to be on the road or the highway from Thomas 6yl-
liam's in the woods, joining on the old field of the said Edward
Smithwick. April 7, 1702. Test, Thomas Luten, Register." (Book
W, page 30, Register of Deeds' Office of Chowan County.)

" At a vestry held at Thomas Gilliam's, Oct. 13, 1702, Present,
Hon. Henderson Walker, President, Col. Wm. Wilkinson, Capt.
Thomas Luten, Church Wardens, Nicholas Crisp, John Blount, Capt
Thomas Blount, Edward Smithwick, Wm. Banbury.

"To building the Chapel to Mr. John Porter 25£, the list of Tyth-
ables in the Precinct being taken is found to be 283." (Col. Rec,
vol. I, pages 558-9.)

** Ordered, that the vestry meet to-morrow morning to view the
Chappel."

'Oct. ye 14th, 1702. The vestry being met and having viewed
the Chappel, the major part of the vestry do declare their dislike of
the ceiling of the Chappel, by reason of the Boards being defaced."
(Col. Rec, vol. I, page 576 )

Ordered, that Mr. Edward Smithwick and Mr. Nicholas Crisp, on
behalf of the vestry, do choose one indifferent man that is skilled in
building, and Mr. John Porter shall choose another, who shall meet
at the Chanel the second Saturday in November to give their "judg-
ment whether the boards be fit for ceiling such a house, and if these
two persons chosen as aforesaid cannot agree in their opinions, then
they shall choose an umpire, and what opinion he the said umpire
shall give shall be a full and final determination of the matter about
the ceiling and boards, and the agreement between the Church War-
dens and Mr. John Porter shall be thence." (Col. Reic, vol. I, pages
558-9 and 560)

** At a vestry holden at the house of Mrs. Sarah Gilliam ye 15th
day of December, 1702. Present, Col. Wm. Wilkinson, Capt. Thos.
Leuten, Church Wardens, Mr. Wm. Duckinfield, Mr. Edward Smith-
wick, Mr. Nicholas Crisp, Capt. Thomas Blount, Mr. William Ban-
bury, Mr. Nath'l Chevin, Mr. James Long." (Col. Rec, vol. I, pages
576-7.)

"The Chappel being this day viewed by all the vestry here pres-
ent, and are satisfied therewith and do receive the House and Keys
from Mr. John Porter, he promising to provide so much Lime as
will wiash the ceiling of the Chapel, and the Vestry to be at the
charge of a workman to do the same." (Col. Rec, vol, I, pages
560-1.)

" At a vestry holden at the Chappel ye 6th Oct., 1703. . Present,
Hon. Henderson Walker, Mr. Wm. Duckinfield, Mr. Edward Smith-
wick, Col. Wm. Wilkinson, Church Wardens, Capt. Thos. Blount,
Capt. Thomas Leuten, Mr. John Blount, Mr. Nicholas Crisp, Mr.
Wm. Banbury, Mr. Nath'l Chevin." (Col. Rec, vol. I, pages 576-7.)

Ordered, that the Church Wardens shall, with all possible speedy
7

258 North Carolina Historical

have the wiDdows of the Chappell finished, and that Glass may be
sent for or purchased here if possible." (Col. Rec, vol. I, page 571.)

"At a vestry met at the Chapel the 9th day of March, 1 703-4.
Present, Hon. Henderson Walker, Col. Wm. Wilkinson, Mr. Wm.
Duckinfield, Mr. Edward Smithwick, Mr. Nicholas Crisp, Mr. John
Blount, Mr. Wm. Banbury, Mr. Nath'l Chevin." (Col. Rec., vol. I,
pages 576-7.)

"Ordered, that the Church Wardens do speedily agree with a
workman to make pulpit and pew for the Reader with Desk fitting
for the same, and in as decent manner as may be, and what they
agree for the vestry do oblige themselves to see paid. And that they
put a former order in execution for the getting the windows put up,
and to get Glass and have it put in forthwith." (Col. Rec, vol. I, pages
596-7.)

"At a vestry at the Chappell ye 3d day of Janry., 1705-6. Present,
Col. Wm. Wilkinson, Capt. Thomas Luten, John Ardern, Esq., Wm.
Duckinfield, Esq., Capt. Thomas Blount, Mr. John Blount, Mr. James
Long, Mr. Edward Smithwick, Mr. Nath'I Chevin, Mr. Wm. Banbury."

" Also debated the Payment of John Dicks for work about the
pulpit, the said work not being finished, whether he should be paid
before the work be done. He alledging that he could not finish it for
want of Nails and Boards, and he brings an acct. for his work six
pounds."

" Ordered, that John Dicks be paid one pound, seventeen shillings,
nine pence, besides what he has been paid, and that he finish the
work, then account with the Vestry." (Col. Rec, vol. I, pages 629
and 630)

" At a Vestry at the Chappell the 18 day of April, 1708. Present,
Wm. Duckinfield, Mr. John Ardern, Capt. Thomas Luten, Mr. Nich-
olas Crisp, Jno. Blount, Esq., Mr. Edward Smithwick, Mr. Wm. Ban-
bury, Mr. Nath^ Chevin."

** Ordered, that Phillis Dicks, widow of John Dicks, be paid by the
publick the sum of two pounds, besides what he hath been allowed
and paid by the public for his work on the Chapel. (Idem, p. 679.)

"At a Vestry met at the Chapel on Tuesday, May 11, 1708. Pres-
ent, Wm. Duckinfield, Esq., Edward Moseley, Esq., Mr. Edward
Smithwick. Capt. Thos. Luten, Mr. Nicholas Crisp, Mr. Wm. Ban-
bury, Mr. Thomas Garrett, John Ardern, Esq., Mr. John Blount."

" It having this day been debated for the better encouragement of
a minister (for this precinct only) which is the most proper place to
purchase for a Glebe, it's unanimously agreed upon that the planta-
tion now belonging to Mr. Frederick Jones, whereon the church now
stands, is the fittest place can be thought on for that use: the tract of
land in quantity containing five hundred acres.

" It is therefore the humble Request of the Vestry that Edward
Mosoley, Esq., (having now business into Virginia) will please to
treat with Mr. Frederick Jones concerning the purchase of the said
land and agree with him for the same, provided he exceed not an
hundred pounds in country commodities.

AND GeNBALOQIOAL REGISTER. 259

*' Ordered, that the Church Wardens endeavor to have the pulpit
finished with all possible speed, as likewise the Desk, and what other
things belong to it, as likewise to have the Church floor laid with
Brick, but upon further debate of the matter it's agreed upon that
the floor shall be laid with plank as being the cheapest and most
expeditious way of having it done." (Col. Rec., vol. 1, pages 680-1.)

The italics, "whereon the church now stands," in the above quo-
tation are ours; th^y are not in the original as italics, but written
as the balance of the paragraph.

From the above evidence taken from the records, we have the
<}hurch commenced upon the land of Edward Smith wick in 1702 and
received by the Vestry Dec. 15, 1702; it was, however, not comple-
ted as late as 1708, when it still required a floor, at which time we
find the plantation upon which it was built had changed from the
possession of Edward Smithwick to that of Fred'k Jones, who seems
from the record to have been in Virginia at the time ; he had prob-
ably just purchased it, and afterwards removed to it. In order to lo-
-cate the exact tract of land " whereon the Church now stands" in
1708, we propose to introduce the original grant to Edward Smith-
wick and the deeds on record in the office of the Register of Deeds
for Chowan County, and trace the title to the present date. Grant
to Edward Smithwich (recorded in B6ok I, page 308, Secretary of
State's Office, Raleigh, N. C.) reads as follows:

380 acres lying on southeast side of Mattacomack Creek, '* Begin-
ning at a red oak at the mouth of said creek, then down the bay of
the said creek various courses to a red oak, an old marked corner
tree; then east 6J° north 300 poles to a white oak; then north 3^
^ast 147 poles to an old marked hickory by the creek side ; then down*
the creek by various courses to first station. Jany. 1, 1694."

Smithwick's deed calls for the acre of land (given, the Church
Wardens upon which to "arect a church") to be upon the road lead-
ing from Thomas Gilliam's house in the woods, and here follows the
grant made to Thos. Gilliam Apl. 16, 1697, (recorded in Book I, page
76, Office of the Secretary of State, Raleigh, N. C.) for 560 acres land :

*' Beginning at a red oak standing by the River, then N.84^ E. 300
poles to a Gum, S. 36° E, 170 poles to a white oak, south 45° W. 320
poles to red oak standing on the Bank of the River, then up the
River by various courses to first station."

This tract of land lies back of the Smithwick grant, and was sold
by Thos. Gilliam to Edward Smithwick in 1702, and by Smithwick
iK) Jeremiah Vail, and corresponds to what is now called Cherry's
Point, formerly Collins' Point. The deed from Thomas Gilliam to
Edward Smithwick cannot be found on the records, but the follow-
ing deed from Edward Smithwick and wife Sarah to Jeremiah Vail,
dated July 2, 1709, (recorded in Book B, No. 1, page 367,) conveys
^* a tract of land containing 560 acres, which was formerly granted
by the Lords Proprietors to Thomas Gilliam as by ye Patent dated
Apl. 17, 1697." Then follows the same description as found in Grant

260 North Carolina Historical

to Thomas Gilliam above. The last call speaks of the line dividing
it from land of Edward Moseley.

The deed from Edward Smithwick to Frederick Jones is also not
to be found on the records, but a deed from Thos. Jones and Hard-
ing Jones of New Hanover Co., N. C, to John Rieussett, dated Julye
11, 1757, (recorded in Book H, No. 1, page 274,) conveys ** 388 acres
land more or less (except one-eighth part of an acre of the aforesaid
land, including in the middle or centre thereof tlie burying place or
graves of the Ancestors or Family of the said Thomas and Harding
Jones) situated, lying and being near Edenton, in Chowan County, on
the opposite side of Queen Ann's formerly called Mattacomack Creek^
beginning at a Red Oak at the mouth of the said creek, running thence
down the bay of said creek by various courses of the said bay to a
red oak, an old marked corner tree; thence E. 6J° N. 300 poles to a
white oak; thence N. 3J° E. 147 poles to a marked hickory by the
said creek side; thence bounded down by the various courses of the
said creek to the first station; and also 163 acres more or less situ-
ated, lying and being on the south side of the SE branch of Queen
Ann's formerly called Mattacomack Creek in Chowan County, and
adjoining the 388 acres of land above mentioned, Beginning Ht a
Red Oak on the northeast side of the said branch, the corner tree of
the land formerly belonging to one Windley and lately to Capt.
Nicholas Crisp, dec'd, running thence thro' the said branch SW 40
poles to a white oak ; thence south 147 poles in the line that divides
this from the land first above mentioned to a white oak ; thence
S 30° E 170 poles; thence ENE 130 poles to the line of the aforesaid
Nicholas Crisp, formerly called Windley's line; thence bounded
'down by the said line NW 276 poles to the first station. Which said
lands were granted by Patent from the late Lords Proprietors of
Carolina, to Edward Smithwick, dated in the year 1694, and were
sold and conveyed by the said Smithwick to Frederick Jones, father
of the said Thomas and grandfather of the said Harding Jones, and
by the last Will and Testament of the said Fred'k Jones, bearing
date 1722, were devised to his son Wm. Harding Jones, and by the
said William Harding Jones by his will, dated in 1730, were vested
after the death of his wife Ann now deceased, in the said Thomas
Jones and Frederick Jones brother of the said Thomas, and to whom
the said Harding Jones is heir-at-law, containing in the whole 543
acres of land." 880 acres and 163 acres make 543 acres. The 880
acres tallies with the Smithwick grant.

Deed of David Rieusset of Jamaica by John Harvey and John
Campbell, attys. to Samuel Johnston, dated Oct. 30, 1765, (recorded
in Book M, No. 1, page 307.) conveys " All that plantation in Chowan
County near Edenton, N. C. 543 acres whereon John Rieusset, late
of the Province of N. Carolina, did lately dwell, being all those two
tracts of land which the said John Rieusset purchased of Thomas

Will bears date 18 July, 1763. This is the first time we find the
tract called " Hayee." Gov. Samuel Johnston Deed of Gift, to his
son James Cathcart Johnston, deed dated Dec. 9, 1814 (recorded in
Book G, No. 2, page 101), conveys " All my plantation in Chowan
County known by tbe name of Hayes with all the lands and appur-
tenances thereto belonging."

Will of James C. Johnston dated Apl. 10, 1863 (recorded in Book

D, pages 57, 58, 59, 60, 61 and 62), conveys as follows: " I give, de-
vise and bequeath to my friend Mr. Edward Wood, resident of
Chowan County and State of North Carolina, all my Estate both
Real and Personal of what nature or kind soever, that I have in
the connty of Chowan at the time of my death,"

Will of Edward Wood dated June 3, 1872, and recorded in Book

E, pages 33 to 41 inclusive, Office of the Clerk of the Superior Court
of c;howan County, contains the following bequest: " My Hayes farm
with mills attached. I give to wife Caroline M. Wood during her life-
time, with all the Furniture, Library, Riding Vehicles, &c., stock,
farming implements, &c., upon tbe irame, and at her death to my son
John Wood, his heirs and assigns, and desire them to keep and pre-
serve the farm in good order, and keep it in my family as long as
possible, in respect to the memory of him who gave it to me."

From a careful review of the facts produced from the records of
both Church and State in this article, the conclusion is inevitable,
that the first church built in North Carolina was located on the 380
acre grant of Edward Smithwick, dated in 1694, the title to which
has ^n traced down to the present, when it appears as a part of the
Hayes Farm now owned by Jno. G. Wood, Esq. The exact spot
where it stood on this tract of land is not known, and will probably
never be ascertained A presumption, however, arises from the na-
ture of the Grant to Smithwick, and from the fact that in 1702 the
bulk of the population of this part of Chowan Precinct lived on the
road leading from the Yoppim road to Sandy Point or contiguous to
it, that tbe church was built upon or near the said road leading to
Sandy Point. The Smithwick Grant was nearly due east from the
Bay 300 poles, not quite one mile, which is about the distance from
the bay to said road. Henderson Walker, Nicholas Crisp, Edward
Smithwick, John Blount, William Banbury, CoL Wm. Wilkinson
and Thomas Leuten, seven of the eight members of the Ist Vestry
who lived on this side of the Albemarle Sound and Chowan River
lived on the aforesaid road, or contiguous to it. Henderson Walker
lived in 1702 at Skinner's Point, Nicholas Crisp lived on land ad-
joining Smithwiok's, Edward Smithwick resided near the church on

262 North Carolina Historical

the same tract on which it was built, John Blount owned Mulberry
Hill, William Banbury was living at Atholl, later known as Benbury
Hall, Col. Wm. Wilkinson resided at Sandy Point, and Thomas
Leuten owned land adjoining Wm. Wilkinson. The other vestry-
man, Nath'l Chevin, in all probability lived on his one hundred
acre farm which now constitutes a part of the town of Edenton
Thomas Pollock resided in what is now Bertie County, as did Wil-
liam Duckinfield at Salmon Creek, while James Long and Thomas
Blount were residents of the South Shore, known as Tyrrell and
Washington Counties at present.

The land on which the town of Edenton was built was owned by
three or four persons, and there were no settlements on the north or
east immediately adjoining its present boundaries, as early as 1702^
there were two or three families on the west across Filbyrd's Creek,
(named for Nicholas Filbyrd).

" At a meeting of the Vestry holden at the Chapel on Sunday the
25th July, 1708. Present, Edward Moseley, Esq., William Duckin-
field, Esq., Capt. Thomas Luton, Mr. Nicholas Crisp, Mr. Edward
Smithwick, Mr. William Banbury, Mr. William Charlton, John Ar-
dern, Esq.

" Whereas, it had been taken into our mature consideration, the
many and great inconveniences which attend the Chappell which is
already built, both in respect of its ill situation, smallness and rough
and unfit workmanship,

" We therefore to show our true zeal for the Glory of God and
propagating so good a work, do unanimously agree that a church of
forty feet long, and twenty-four wide, fourteen feet from tenent to
tenent for hight, the remaining part of the work to be proportiona-
ble: the roof to be first plankt, and then shingled with good cypress
shingles, and the whole to be ceiled with plank, and floored with
plank, for the speedy accomplishment of which said work it's the
Earnest Request of the present members of the Vestry that Edward
Moseley, Esq., and Capt. Thomas Leuten will undertake to see the
same performed, they living convenient, and to agree with Work-
men at as easy Rates as may be. It being well and substantially
performed." (Col. Rec, vol. I, page 684.)

At a vestry held at. the Chapell on Thursday, 27th, Feby. 1708-9,
we find only the following items referring to the church : " Ordered,
that the Collector of Precinct advance the sum of twelve pounds to-
wards the beautifying of the Chappell over and above the charge
of the collection. Ordered, that the way and method of beautifying
. the Church be left to the discretion of the Church Wardens for the
year ensuing, viz., enlarging, repairing^ &c" (Italics ours.)

An item in the account of the Church Wardens presented at this
meeting reads as follows: " By 600 feet of Inch board by Mr. Smith-
wick towards laying the fioor, 2£. 10s. Od." (Col. Rec, vol. I, page
702.)

From the above excerpts of records, it appears that the plank for

AND Genealogical! Rbqistbr. 263

the floor in the church had been purchased, and that the proposi-
tion to build another church, gave place to "beautifying the church
by enlarging, repairing, Ac," presumptively the first building
erected. If another church was built prior to 1730 in a different lo-
cality, after diligent search no deed has been found for the land on
which it was erected. The records of deeds are silent on this point
This forces us to the conclusion that the first church may have been
enlarged and repaired. There was no incorporated town in the Pre-
cinct, except Bath, until 1712, at which time the Legislature passed
an Act " to build a Court House and House to hold the Assembly
in, and for such persons as were minded to do so to build in the forks
of Queen Ann's Creek, the place taking the name of ** Queen Ann's
Town," and retaining it until 1722, when an Act was passed to "in-
corporate the Town of Edenton," in honor of Grov. Charles Eden.
The first lot sold at "Queen Ann's Town," was conveyed by Nath'l
Chevin to Charles Foster, Sept. 1, 1715, probably one-half acre, known
as Lot A, taken out of his one hundred acre farm which be owned
on Queen Anne's Creek. Later Nath'l Chevin and Thomas Peter-
son conveyed to Edward Moseley Lots 1 and 2 at Queen Anne's Town.
There is no evidence among the records thaC there was any church
in Queen Anne's Town or Edenton, or other place of Public Wor-
ship, up to Mch. 31, 1729, but there is evidence to show there was
none about that date.

Col. Wm. Byrd of the surveying party on the part of Virginia to run
the " Boundary Line" between Virginia and North Carolina visited
Edenton March 29, 1729, and in his Manuscripts, vol. I, page 59,
states: "I believe this is the only Metropolis in the Christian or
Mohamatan World, where there is neither Church, Chapel, Mosque,
Synagogue or other Place of Publick Worship of any Sect or Re-
ligion." Again, in the same volume, page 63: "Our Chaplain re-
turned to us in the evening fronfi Edenton in company with the
Carolina Commissioners. He bad preaeht there in the Court House
for the want of a ^consecrated place, and made no less than 19 of
Father Hennepin's Christians."

The following extracts from the records will, however, clearly
show that the first church was in all probability not enlarged, nor
was there a new and larger one built on its site or elsewhere prior
to 1729. Of course I do not refer to the church that was constructed
in that part of Chowan Precinct now within the lines of Gales
County, of which we will find a record later on, to- wit, "Sarum
Chapel."

Rev. John Urmston was the Missionary in charge of the work in
Chowan and other Precincts. In a letter from him, dated July 7, 1711,
making a report of his work, we find the following language: " We
had neither Church nor Chapel in 3 of the Precincts, and those two we
have in Chowan and Perquimans were never finished — ready to
drop down ; that in th^ former Precinct hath neither floor nor seats,
only a few loose benches upon the sand, the key being lost the door

264 North Carolina Historical

has stood open ever since I came into the country. All the Hoggs
and Cattle flee thither for shelter in the summer and warmth in the
, Winter ; they first dig holes and bury themselves, then with the rest
make it a loathsome place," &c. (Col. Rec, vol. I, pages 769-70 )

The expression in the above extract, " only a few loose benches
on the sand," seems to indicate that the church was located on the
♦shore of the bay, as sand can only be found upon the Smith wick
tract at or near the water. However, as this may be, it could have
been hauled from the shore to the church and placed within it to
make the dirt floor more comfortable. Rev. Mr. Adams had left
Chowan and goiie to Coratuck in 1709, at which time he was suc-
ceeded by Rev. John Urmstor.

Mr. Adams writes to the Secretary, his letter being dated in Lron-
dor» May 13, 1709, as follows, speaking of the Precincts: " Chowan
is the westernmost, the largest and thinnest settled. They built a
Church some years "ago, but it is small, very sorrily put together,
and is ill looked after; and therefore I prevailed with them to build
another, which they went about when I came away. The plan of it
I brought over, and was desired to procure as much glass as will be
necessary for the windows, which by computation will amount to
Bl5 feet." (Col. R- c, vol. I, pages 711-12 )

At a meeting of the vestry held the 1st June, 1711-12. " Ordered,
that Mr. John Urmston be allowed for officiating in this precinct,
the year following commencing from the 25th Dtc. last past, at the
several times and places hereafter mentioned, seventy pounds to be
levied and paid as the Act of Assembly for establishing a Church
and making provision for Ministers doth appoint and direct, dated
Mch. ye 10, 1710-11, viz., One Sunday on the south shore, then the
two next on the western shore alternately." (Col. Rec, vol. I, pages
830-1.)

Letter from Rev. John Urmston to John Chamberlain, dated on
Board the Bayly, James River, May 30, 1712: " I intend to come for
England God willing pr. the next fleet. The country owes me 100£
already, and the longer I stay the worse it will be." (Idem, page 851,)

In a letter from Rev. Giles Rainford to John Chamberlain, dated
Chowan in North Carolina, July 2*, 1712, the following language
appears: "June the 5th I arrived at the Governor's, where I was
most kindly received bv him, as afterwards by Col. Pollock and Mr.
Duckinfield. * * * * Whit Sunday * * * * several of the people
came that day to Public Service, hut perfect strangers to the Method
of Worship of our Church. Mr. Urmston and I by a mutual agree-
ment, with the approbation of the Governor, are to manage after
this manner. He proposes to supply the North Shore at the lower
end of Chowan, together with all Paspetanck, provided I take care
of the West Shore (where there is no church). But since the whole

sorry to say) bas been a long time neglected. Mr. Urmston is lame
and says be cannot do now wbat be formerly bas done, but tbis lazy

tbe country. * * * * Tbere's a small Cbapel near an old Indian
Town wbere I preacbed at June 5tb, bad vast crowds come to bear
me, but I observed they exprest very little or rather no devotion in
time of Divine Service. June 22d I preacbed at one Mr. Garratt's,
the upper end of Chowan, but had such numbers that I was obliged
to go under a large Mulberry Tree. * * * i had several confer-
ences with one Thomas Hoyle, King of tbe Chowan IiMlians, who
seem very inclinable to embrace Christianity and proposes to send
his son to School to Sarum to have bim taught to read and write by
way of foundation in order to a further proficiency for the recep-
tion of Christianity. I readily offered my service to instruct him
myself, and having tbe opportunity of sendiug him to Mr. Garrett's,
where I lodge, being but three miles distance from this Town. I
found be had some notions of Noah's flood, which he came to the
knowledge of and exprest himself after this manner: My father told
me I tell my son. There's one Mr. Mashburn who keeps a school at
* Sarum on the fronteers of Virginia between the two Governments
and neighboring upon 2 Indian Towns." (Col. Rec, Vol. I, 858-9.)

Letter of John Urmstom to the Secretary, dated Nov. 6, 1712,
says: " Mr. Rainsford has proved another Alexander. His coming in
has been a great detriment to me, and no service to the Country. I
wish be may stay in it as long as I've done, but very much doubt it;
never any one could do it, and had I been able should have long
ago taken me to another place." (Col. Rec, Vol. I, page 888.)

Now, in all these letters there has not been one word written with
reference to tbe Church or Chapel, nor have we found in the records
of the Vestry Meeting for past two years any allusion to building or
repairing. Rev. John Urmstom speaks of the Chapel being "ready
to drop down, and a resting' place for Hoggs and Cattle; they flee
thither for shelter in the Summer and Warmth in Winter." Mr.
Rainsford's letter to the Secretary, dated Chowan, N. Carolina, 17
Feby., 1712-13: "Mr. Urmatom has bought a plantation on the con-
fines of Virginia." (Idem, Vol. II, page 17.)

Rev. John Urmstom to General Nicbelson, North Carolina, July
1st, 1713-4: "This is now the time of payment, whilst people have it.

* Sarum was in all probability located at or near the ''Ballard place," about 8
miles Northwest of Gatesville at the head of "Sarum Creek." It was three
miles from Thos. Garrett's on Catharine Creek to Thos. Hoyle's Indian Town,
located on their grant for 11,000 acres of land lying between Catharine Creek
and Bennett's Creek, making it about 5 or 6 miles distant from the present Town
of Gatesville, N. C. The other Indian Town referred to as being convenient to
the School at Sarum was most probably that of the Meherrin Indians at or near
the mouth of the Meherrin River. Sarum being located at the head of Sarum
Creek was about equidistant between the two towns. On a recent visit to Gates-
ville, in conversation with an old gentleman 83 years old. he stated, that when
a boy there were evidences at or near the Ballard place of a very old settlement. ^

so that I fear I mpst retire into the next Government for relief."

At a Vestry met at the Church on the North shore of the Sound
in Chowan Precinct Mch. ye 2d, 1713-14. Answer to a letter from
the Honoble Society by the Honoble Coll. Nicholson were ordered:
" None of them ever abode so long here as Rev. Mr. Urmstone hath,
done. Yet have not been so happy in him neither as we would have
desired, by reason that for the most part there hath been no other Min-
ister in these parts. Since his arrival * * * he hath made the other
precincts sharers with us in his ministry. As for the two years last
past he hath been prevailed with, and indeed necessitated, not being
able to travel any longer about the country to confine himself to this
precinct, * * * pray the Honoble Society to continue or rather add
to the Salary of Mr. Urmston to the End he may be enabled to stay
with us; that they will out of their great Charity concur with our
honest but weak Endeavors to establish a Church, Ministry and a
School." (Idem, Vol. II, pages 119 and 120 )

John Urmstone's letter to the Secretary. Extract: " North Caro-
lina, Nov. 13, 1716. There was a Vestry appointed for Chowan
where I have resided for six years and a half, several essays have
been made towards a meeting, but there were a majority, at least
we had eight, whereof two refused to qualify themselves as the Act
which I sent the Society directs, and nowe they pretend without a
new Act there is no Vestry, all to avoid paying me, hoping by that
means to drive me out of the Country." (Idem, vol. I, page 248.)

tance), and met not a congregation ; so indifferent are our Gentry

it." (Col. Rec, vol. II, page 279).

• John Urmstone to the Secretary. Extract: North Carolina, June
22, 1717. " It was agreed that we should hold a Vestry every first
Sunday in the month, but we have never since the first nor I believe
ever shall ; the first Sunday in the month we had one Church War-
den and three Vestrymen." (Idem, page 288.)

In his letter dated Oct 23, 1717, he speaks of Rev. Mr. Taylor ar-
riving here about a month ago (page 294), after which time Mr.
Urmston commenced his labors in the lower precincts.

We have given the statements of Rev. John Urmston, fully aware
that his reputation in the Colony to say the least was very unsavory;

* Rev. John Urmston owned 400 acres of land on tlie Albemarle Sound, either
covering a part of Atholl water front, or on the tract immediately west of it.
He gave Edward Moseley a power of attorney in 1720, shortly after he left the
Precinct, to dispose of it. This paper is indexed, but on referring to the book
and page, we fail to find it recordea.

AND GeNBALOGICAL REGISTER. 267

his statements when corroborated by other evidence are worthy of
credence and others relating to minor details, where there could be
no motive or interest to prevaricate, must likewise be received. We
nevertheless leave the reader to attach that weight to his evidence
the facts and circumstances may justify. The trend of all the record
evidence is to the Edward Smitbwick grant of 380 acres, as being
the place upon which was erected the first church in N. Carolina.
We can not see how a doubt of this fact can linger in the mind of
any person, after a careful and thoughtful investigation of the evi-
dence collected in this sketch. A second church (while the records
are not in accord with the thought), may have been commenced^
but we can find nothing to indicate that it was ever completed or
used.

St. Paul's Church in Edenton, N. C, was commenced after 1729^
but it is not now our purpose to give its history. We may do so at
a later date.

Pannele, for the sum of $1,600, the tract of land, but refused to al-
low a town to be laid out on it or to sell any of the property. Much
dissatisfaction grew up in the county at this monopoly ; people had
DO shelter or other accommodation while attending court, and peti-
tions were circulated in the county to remove the Court House from
Oxford. To prevent this, Mr. Littlejohn consented to sell 60 acres
for a town. Accordingly, in 1811, an Act was passed by the General
Assembly of North Carolina appointing Col. Robert Burton, Benj.
Hiijiard,Col. Charles Eaton, Dr. John Hare, and Robert Jeter Com-
missioners to purchase 60 acres of land from Mr. Littlejohn and sell
it off in lots. This was accordingly done, but no corporate govern-
ment was established until 1816. In that year an Act to incorporate
the town of Oxford, in Granville Co., was passed, and William M.
Snead, Nathaniel M. Taylor, Dr. William V. Taylor, Leslie Gilliam,
and Thomas Blount Littlejohn were appointed Commissioners. They
were our first "City Fathers," and were empowered to fill any va-
cancy that might, from any cause, occur in their body. The corpora-
tion seems to have become dormant, for in 1826 an Act was passed
relieving the Corporation, and naming Thos. Blount Littlejohn,
Thomas Booth, Dr. William V. Taylor, David Mitchell, and Rhodes
N. Herndon Commissioners, and providing for the election of Com-
missioners on the first Monday in May of each year. Again the
Corporation died out, but was revived in 1830, and has existed un-
interruptedly ever since. In 1832 and 1844 Acts were passed amend-
ing the " Acts of incorporation."

Thomas Blount Littlejohn remained in Oxford until he was
nearly eighty years old, when he went to live with his youngest
daughter, Mrs. Geo. Field, at her home "Glen wood," in Warren Co.,
N. C, where he died Jan 29, 1864, in his 81st year, and was buried at
Oxford, N. C, in the family graveyard by the side of his wife, Eliza-
beth Mutter, who died Feby. 19, 1842, in her 44th year.

For forty years he was an earnest and devoted member of the
Presbyterian Church. Whilst those who knew him in life's summer
prime could tell many things illustrative of his humanity and firm-
ness, and punctiliousness, and Christian integrity, and inflexible hon-
esty, yet the present writer would simply say that a better man he
never knew, one whose strict observance of the nicest proprieties of
society was more invariably scrupulous and characteristic of the
gentleman, or in whose daily life were more clearly exemplified the
shining attributes and rich virtues which cluster so thickly around
the character of the Christian. As might have been anticipated
from so pure a life, his end was glorious and peaceful — serene and
resigned and quiet as the setting of an unclouded sun. Mr. Little-
john appeared to them who only knew him in the last days of his
life, when the machinery had been well worn by the service of eighty
years, as a man of strong and marked character, a character so vig-
orously drawn and developed that no portrayal could possibly pre-
sent him correctly or accurately unless the lineaments were drawn

by the cordial and genial hand of an ADcient friend who knew him
when his form was erect, athletic, and his eye beamed with the un-
dimmed lustre of a healthful and active manhood. He who now
writes only speaks of him as he appeared in his declining years.
Some two years and a half before his death he left Oxford, his place
of residence for sixty years, to spend the evening of his life in War-
ren Co., where the fondness of a daughter could minister to his com-
fort. So gentle and serene was his death, it seemed like the sinking
of a summer breeze on the sweet music of a falling quiet stream.

The above item is copied literally from the original found in the

The date is erased, but by the aid of a glass it was found to be Sept.
5th, 1729.

^ The house of Wm. Burgess was " on the North side of Pascotanc,
at the head of Ramond's Creek." This place corresponds to Shiloh
in Camden County, Camden County having been formed out of ter-
ritory formerly embraced in Pasquotank Precinct and County. If
any of our readers could designate the house and land of William
Burgess in 1729, the exact location could be ascertained where this
first Congregation was organized and where they worshipped.
